Description and Uses
Hexyl acetate has a pleasant fruity odor and bittersweet taste suggestive of pear. May be synthesized from n-hexyl alcohol and excess acetic anhydride at the boil or with an excess of acetic acid in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.
n-Hexyl acetate exhibits antimicrobial activity and can be used to improve the safety of minimally processed fruits. It is a fruity smelling fluid used as flavoring agent or in perfumes. It is a green leaf volatile from cabbage Brassica oleracea var. capitata L. It is used as plasticizers.
